Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Bradwell Abbey, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How far is Bradwell Abbey from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A chip van compared with other options
